Pulis is unhappy with the Midlands club’s relative lack of activity during the summer transfer window and while Albion are now adamant he is staying on there are lingering concerns that he will eventually resign.

Hodgson, 69, had a successful 15-month stint in charge before taking the England job in April 2012 and it is believed he wants to return to management.

Should Pulis eventually decide to walk, Hodgson would be a leading candidate to replace him – although West Brom are currently in a handover period between ex-chairman Jeremy Peace and a Chinese investment group.

Rodgson has also managed Inter Milan, Blackburn Rovers, Malmö FF, Grasshoppers, FC Copenhagen, Udinese, Fulham and Liverpool.
